Default RE: Air Hogs Aero Ace!
This is my attempt at building a micro using AA electronics. It is a (semi-scale)model of the famous "Vin Fiz" (1911 Wright Model EX). Built from 2mm Depron,bass and balsa woods. A 6% foil, 12" span x 11" OAL weighing 21 grams. She flies as an R/C plane should, gentle climbs and descents, no porpoising. Turns are relatively flat and smooth with little loss of altitude. Figure 8's in a 20x40 foot space. Level flight speed approx 8-10 knots @5/8 throttle. Great outdoor flier in(no wind) as well as Gym flier. Much attention was paid to weight,incidence, dihedral,CG,and thrust line to achieve this, but it worked and worked well.
